Park Practice: Nature Journaling and Meditation

Join in for an afternoon of nature inspired journaling, creative conversation, and mindfulness meditation in Prospect Park. Led by Kelly Laughlin, artist, writer, and founder of Odette Press, you'll learn the basics of mindfulness meditation and journaling, ground down into the present moment, and relax into the process of creative journaling and reflection in the park. Spark your creative ideas, and relax into the flow of your senses as you connect with mind, body, and breath.

Each ticket includes one pocket sized notebook from Odette Press, a pen, journaling prompts, and light snacks and refreshments. Dress for the weather, and wear comfortable shoes and clothes to sit in! We meet rain or shine.

We'll start with an introduction, and a short walk from Grand Army Plaza into Prospect Park. From there, we'll settle in. You'll be guided to tune into the environment using mindfulness meditation and nature-based journaling prompts. You'll explore writing and reflecting to connect to your senses as you relax into the practice of connecting with nature. We'll end with another short meditation, plus time for Q&A to answer questions that come up about the meditation and journaling process. Then, we'll part ways! You'll leave with prompts to explore back at home. If you're just starting a meditation or journaling practice, or looking to deepen your connection to nature, this experience is for you.
